I have a plethora of Jeep information and links stockpiled on my computer and in my brain.
Personally i run Firestone Destination M/T tires and couldn't be happier with the treadware and performance. Bonus - they look sexy as hell too. The A/T flavor is very good as well.
From a while back - 235/75s fully stuffed, no trimming, no rubbing

I run 33s and get like 16 hwy.

Edit: oh yea and 1.5" won't make more of a drag diff but yea offroad it'll be a great difference

Oil Pan Transmission cover
I replaced the rear main oil seal and this was attached to the two rear oil pan 5/16 bolts. It faces the transmission inspection plate. Where can I find a new one, what is it called, or do I even need one. 2001 XJ auto 4.0 stock

Is this a stock Pittman Arm? (I'm aware my tre is doomed,in the process of changing it again lol) I was just wondering bc I know I have the zj steering swap done so I was kinda curious if this is the drop arm out of a zj also.

Best bet would be the junkyard for something like that

Follow up question: would a Durango steering box with a zj Pittman arm on it be a solid junkyard upgrade? or is the combo not possible/stick to one or the other Just trying to get a parts list going for my next junkyard trip lol. Thanks

if you drop the pitman arm, you'll need to drop the trackbar mount also to prevent bump steer.
My durango box swap thread should clear up the rest:
